News for the Weeks of March 19 and 26, 2018

Hello Families,

New week and new and last grading period for the regular school year!  Can you believe this year is almost gone!  The next two weeks will be working on the new benchmarks for the kiddos IEP goals.  

Our minimum day falls on Friday 3-30 as it is the last day before Spring Break.  The break is only one week from 3-31 thru 4-8, school resumes on Monday 4-9.

Please send in any odd materials you can for the student art pieces, see last blog post for details.

This week's menu is cycle 5, see the school menus cycle label for details.

Please remember to adhere to school policy with regard to attendance and illness and communicate with the school office as well as myself that your child will be missing school and the reason for the absence.

I am asking for any donations no matter how small, for the usual items of facial tissues, baby wipes, bleach wipes for the whole classroom to use, not just for your child.  This year the yucky germs have really taken a toll on our peeps big and little, we are doing our best to keep things in the room clean and sanitized.

Last reminder, please do not send your child to school with anything that is too precious and don't want damaged or lost.  Firstly I do not have storage space to keep the items/toys stowed away and I have had students in the classroom  who do not understand why some toys are not being shared, and it has created a major distraction and loss of instructional time as well as problems with student behavior.  I as well as my staff cannot be responsible for your child's extraneous personal items. 

As always, thank you to you all for your support!

It is my privilege to be your child's teacher, many blessings to you all.

Friday 3-16, we made green pancakes!




I have found a bin of pinto beans to not only be entertaining by very calming for many of the students!


Have a fun and a blessed week!
